Martita Hunt, Jean Simmons in Great Expectations (Universal)

Jean Simmons, who died on Jan. 22 at age 80, will have next Friday evening dedicated to her on Turner Classic Movies. Beginning at 5pm PT, TCM will show three Jean Simmons movies: David Lean&#8217;s Great Expectations (1946), and Richard Brooks&#8216; Elmer Gantry (1960) and The Happy Ending (1969).
Many  consider the Academy Award-nominated Great Expectations the greatest film adaptation of a Charles Dickens&#8216; novel. Needless to say, I disagree. (I much prefer the mostly forgotten and generally dismissed Nicholas Nickleby, directed by Alberto Cavalcanti in 1947.) Yet, even this naysayer must agree that Lean&#8217;s Great Expectations has much to offer, including Guy Green&#8217;s superb black-and-white cinematography and Finlay Currie&#8217;s flawless portrayal of [...]]]></description>

Jean Simmons, the beautiful actress who was nominated for Oscars for her work in Hamlet (1948) and The Happy Ending (1969), died of lung cancer on Friday night (Jan. 22) at her home in Santa Monica, Calif. The London-born actress would have turned 81 on Jan. 31.
Simmons&#8217; film debut took place in the 1944 British comedy Give Us the Moon, in which she played star Margaret Lockwood&#8217;s younger sister. A couple of years later, she was the snotty teenage Estella, the companion to the reclusive Miss Havisham (Martita Hunt), in David Lean&#8217;s Academy Award-nominated version of Great Expectations (1946). And the following year, she was  an uppity Indian girl with a jewel in her nose  in Michael Powell [...]]]></description>
